Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding novel Chapter 290
Sebastian had heard everything, but he showed no signs of surprise.
He slowly lifted his chin and replied smoothly, "We have plenty of time. There's no rush."
Seraphina instantly understood. He already had a countermeasure in mind.
His single sentence anchored her panic. After all, Sebastian was her absolute safety net and her compass. As long as he was there, nothing was impossible.
Even amidst her mounting anxiety, a wave of affection washed over her, bringing a sweet smile to her lips.
Leo noticed her expression and chuckled.
But he was still baffled by the situation. "We all know how strict the Academy is. Is Director Moreno getting so old he's losing his grip on reality?"
Blatantly pulling strings for his son? Wasn't he afraid of destroying his own reputation?
Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly. "NexusMind hasn't revealed all their cards yet."
It might not have been Dr. Moreno pulling the strings at all.
That prompted Leo to frown. "There's one more thing. I heard Raelynn is directly involved in NexusMind's brain tumor robot project. They're treating her like royalty over there."
Seraphina's sweet smile vanished in an instant.
But she quickly brushed it off.
"That project's technical barriers guarantee failure. It doesn't matter if she's involved or not."
Integrating traditional acupuncture for precision hemostasis? It was a delusional fantasy.
Even with bottomless funding, it was a lost cause.
Sebastian offered no further comment.
He seemed entirely disinterested in the topic of Raelynn.
-
For the next few days, Raelynn was running on adrenaline.
She hadn't been back to the marital home in a week.
She practically lived at the office, working side by side with the massive new team.
Mary called her almost every day at the same time, dropping thinly veiled hints that she needed to come home early. Raelynn flatly stated she was busy and wouldn't be back, leaving Mary to hang up in frustration.
As for whether Sebastian went home or not, Raelynn couldn't care less.
With the Academy researchers fully integrated,
Her project was making stellar progress.
She poured her heart and soul into the work.
Family, marriage, cheating husbands, and mistresses—she threw it all to the back of her mind.
She needed to demand her divorce certificate while she was at it anyway.
It wasn't until her lunch break that she finally made the call.
No answer on the first ring.
No answer on the second.
On the third, he hung up.
Raelynn frowned.
Was he actually busy, or was he just deliberately avoiding her?
But the funding couldn't wait.
She grabbed her things and headed straight for Croix Holdings.
Over the years, she had almost never visited the corporate headquarters. For seven years, the title of Mrs. Croix had made her nothing more than a ghost.
Showing up now, she didn't get an ounce of special treatment. Just like anyone else, she had to go through reception to make an appointment.
Standing at the front desk, she wanted to laugh.
Her stint as Mrs. Croix had brought her absolutely nothing. No public acknowledgment, no private privileges, and zero affection from her husband. All she had to show for it was a useless piece of paper.

The readers' comments on the novel: Boss, Your Wife Signed the Divorce Agreement Before the Wedding
I think for as slow as the beginning was, their turning point is just so fast... really hope we actually get to read about R and S and their rekindle.... we did not read 950 pages for their story to be sidelined. Im for this sideline story, but it if it's to separate from the main characters and their story, please make it separate book....
Author please update more chapters...
I really like Zella, she is becoming a good friend to Raelynn. Ian needs to go. The relationship with Chloe is confusing. Some chapters they are cousins, sometimes they're sibling. A little confusing....
Julians role as big brother- I feel comes from a genuine place, but in a relationship thats is just as stained as Raelynns and Sebastians. It hard for me to connect to his big brother role as he too was such a problem before. And while they talked a little bit, the conversation did not give me the believe there was resolution between Raelynn and Julian. For a brute, he should make his feelings clear about the situation to Raelynn and then step back, until there is more foundation for him to stand on....
Knife in my heart. I hurt for Raelynn. She has made it this far, but how much does she have in her, everyone has a breaking point. Some back of me hopes the author is joking to lighten the mood after so many intense chapters, but thats not this kind of story or couple....
My heart cannot take this. This, cannot be how it ends with these too. They need resolution with each other. Raelynn needs to be more humanize with Sebastian. We know she is hurt, but this is the branch. She needs all these answers, if not for them to be together, then for Lily to have both her parents. Stop with the mind games Raelynn!...
Its like the story is just repeating itself...
Timeline is getting lost for me. So many treasured little memories Raelynn has but yet, he was gone for years ? Anyways... still rooting for them! These two need a heart to heart. Lily "forgetting" someone, not possible in this day and age and I hope thats not their storyline....
Sebastian, the man of few words.... needs to find all the words! Needs to fight for her! On note, seven years seems like a long time for this master plan (which I am sure goes back much farther). Rereading this novel, and it seems like everything has played out in a 5-8 month time span. And I feel like all Sebastian's doings/ plan have not been revealed. I hope we get to see the whole picture and have the resolutions we hope. But seven years of mistreatment, I just don't see Raelynn fully coming back. If these was 2-3 years, maybe, and I know it changes some characters around, but it would still work. Rooting for them!...
Literally on edge!...
